HEY COLD STEEL MEDIA TEAM, ARE YOU LISTENING? WE LIKE THIS GUY BETTER.

I really like how you (and Cold Steel) are up-front about how it’s not the equal of an actual Japanese katana in cutting or durability but emphasize that it’s a very utilitarian and affordable stand-in. That kind of honesty goes a long way with me.

You know, for executions

Can we just agree to make him the all time Cold Steel chopping of stuff video guy?

This guy rocks!!! Please cold steel, have more videos of him. As an FMA and HEMA practicioner, his moves talk authenticity and feel right

The end must edit.. "It will keel" - Doug Marcaida

Cold Steel should make this guy the front-man for their videos. Way better than most Cold Steel videos. Watched the whole thing, even though I have no interest in this weapon.

Tactical katana: * exists * Fedora neckbeards: "it's free real estate"

I like his presentation style.

This guy needs to be in movies. Seriously.

Lynn Thomson makes childhood dreams come true 😂

you made a valid point about the expensive katanas, in the last three years when I walked away and came back to seriously train again I wanted one of the expensive ones and then some one made a comment to me that if you ever get into a situation where you need to use this its not going to matter what you use but more or less how you are able to use it and efficiant you are with it so I started looking at honshou wakizashi but this really looks great plus you did a great job of promoting it

Instructor Lee! I loved having the opportunity to learn from this talented and knowledgeable man. Keep up the awesomeness!

1:14 This... this shows a good company. Straight up with the customer, to the point and they DO NOT bullshit you. I respect Cold Steel more then anything else out there!

This dude is fxckin awesome. Doesnt just know his shxt, he moves like hes ready for Hollywood and war lol

Kinda surprised we didnt get to see the "tactical katana" go against a Tatami mat. That being said, Cold Steel, this guy should be in more of your videos

Man honestly, this was such a great change of pace for Cold Steel's demo vids. Richard Lee really knows what he's doing behind the blade and it shows. Would absolutely love to see more demo vids with him. Great job y'all!

Give this man a raise

Enough talk, let's get to choppiiinggg I ...love this guy.

Every president needs a Secret Service like him,

Excellent presentation Cold Steel. Talk about how great sale

One of the best I've seen from Cold Steel. Looking forward to more like this. Thanks for sharing!

Best value on planet earth! Thanks brother. Thanks for your excellent video. God bless you!👍👍👍🔪🔪🔪

Okay! You got me. I'll be ordering one!

Very cool. I have the Smatchete and the Gladius. Both very nice knives/short swords. Also about another 50 Cold Steel folding and fixed blade knives. The pride of my collection being my O-1 Natchez Bowie.

Something tells me he's done this before...

One of the best Cold Steel videos yet!!! Love it!!!

That demonstration just won my subscription. Keep up the great videos.

You guys are awesome. I've been buying your products for 35 years. Cheers, and thank you for great stuff!

LOL they had to get the Asian guy to review the samurai looking sword.

Awesome demonstration, love the mods, Cold Steel, for the apocalypse and beyond!

Beautiful presentation beautiful sword

Katana for everyone. Pure motto

This video randomly popped up on my feed but I’m so glad it did! Love it! Lol

I have really enjoyed Richard’s videos!

Outstanding, 😎👍👍

If I see this guy doing blade reviews more, I may actually subscribe

You see him coming you pull the pistol. Excellent action footage, more please.

Amazing garden work sword! Saved me so much time and allow me to precision trim the shape of the bushes. This two handed machete compared to a standard one handed ones allow so much more precise cutting. I did sharpen this before I used it though. But good weight for trimming. Got the sword after watching this vid. It’s really an amazing value especially if you consider the time it will save you in the garden!

Definitely Badass .... Coldsteel Style..

I have one of these. They are a blast to take up camping and tear stuff up. Can't beat the fun factor for such a good price

Yo, never seen richard before, but i like him

Badass

👍 Have one - love it. GB

This was an amazing video, I wish KZfaq had the reaction function like Facebook because I love this video! I also love my Cold Steel Katana machete

Bring the girl back

This guy is a beast! Wtf?!

3:55 Kudos to the patato executioner!

Great video!

You need more of this guy. Excellent presenter. Seeing a lady in a CS video was really refreshing too.

This makes me smile.

The demo part was a pleasure to watch.

"Enough talk...Let's get to chopping." 👍

COLD STEEL CAVE

This have to admit this video captured my attention more compared to past videos that Cold Steel puts out! Make him your marketing PR.

Go Richard your a pro bro !!!

Awesome 10/10. May I suggest making the handles less slippery as a mod. Maybe rubber tool dip. Love to see more of this guy.

When the dude was demonstrating how to use the blade(s) I was like damn, this guy looks like hes from a Donnie Yen movie.

Take my money again, Cold Steel. I am buying one to chop weeds near my house!

Oh yea , that was rad

Glad to see they have someone skilled with a katana. I was thinking about purchasing one, but prefer my Musashi T10 katana and Ryujin T10 katana. May buy one in the future though

Awesome..... Just awesome.

Pure entertainment.

You are a true "Bad Was!" Awesome video! Peace, Stiletto :-)

Imagine some poor bastard breaking into this guys house... makes it to the living room and hears the door lock behind him. It's Richard standing there in his F shit up gear holding The Executioner.

Thanks for all the toys Lynn,I appreciate it

Boy I hope cold steel realizes this guy sells. Really enjoyed the video! I want to see more videos from Richard Lee!

I've had one for a long time and I love mine, I use it to clear blackberry bushes and its very comfortable. The two hand grip and long blade makes it great for clearing blackberry bushes or other thorny shrubs.

Love this video so much. Thank you. All out of stock.

Great cuts, as always.

Glad to see they back ,now i can get a few. Those Tactical Katana Machetes are ready for action.

Shut up and take my money! This was the very first thing I've seen where I literally bought it the moment I saw it. I'm an avid sword collector and this is a must to my collection. Yes it's not a strong as Japanese steel but still its strong enough and durable enenough to do what it needs too. 😍

Sick

I will vouch for these. Bought 2 of them 4 years ago from Sears. Those videos dont lie.

I've purchased a Cold Steel knife years ago. And it's still one of the best knives I've ever owned. I even used it to cut my sons umbilical cord. I never thought to look on KZfaq for a Cold Steel channel. But now that I've found it, I've subscribed. Enjoyed the commercial. And can wait to see what comes next.

This is my next Cold steal item. And the shovel. The kurki is amazing

Very cool blade.👌🏼 Nice moves too.

Totally sick!!!!

Wow. He knows how to swing it

I may call it goofy but not to your face and definitely not if you were in striking distance. This is what awesome looks like.

okay ive always been curious about getting a cold steel anything but this guy just pushed me over the edge. cold steel we need more cinematic shit and this guy x 100

Dude's got some legitimate swordsmanship skills, lady too! Awesome!

Very nice demonstration of an excellent looking weapon that is clearly neither a katana nor a machete.

I love cold steel flat out !!!

An Awesome multi use product! Yes the Tactical Katana& Wakizashi Machetes are excellent Hibred Swords. Cold Steel's CEO Lynn Tompson, really came up with an excellent idea he put into creation. As we saw in a privious past Cold Steel video one can infact use the Tactical Katana Machete for survival Hunting / Fishing in taking spearing a Big Fish etc. I can see that the Tactical Katana and Wakizashi and Tactical Chinese War Sword Machete could be properly used to defend against and kill those dangerous little "Godzilla's" Ingiunas. Or the other invasive species such as Constrictors; (Python, Anacondas, Boas) as well as Nile Monators etc. Which in the State of Florida do need to be dispatched as they pose a public safety issue as aggressive dangerors invasive species. I am looking at making, modifying my Tactical Katana into a Double Edge version to sharpen the back side for the ultimate versatility in a survival utility defense impliment.

more of this guy

Got laid off so even 50$ is a lot. Awesome blades from CS tho. I'll get a kudu

I bought my machete katana few yrs ago. I love it and it's easy to sharpen. Few times I I accidently hit the edge with concrete while playing around with it. I felt so bad but it was easy to fix thankfully. Overall I'm surprised of how great the quality is for the price

I can't imagine what I would do with it, but damn straight I want one now you show it to me. Wicked.

I love how you went straight for modification, you’re tight for that!

Obviously love the video and cold steel rules!!

This is great product.

I've been a Cold Steel fan for about 25 years since I got a Carbon V Trailmaster and Kukri. Now they put hot sword-wielding babes in their videos? Hell yeah!

This is a trip i just bought one of these a couple days ago and been looking for videos all were 3years old now this... spinning out... any trip shit like this happen to you fellow comment readers? Like talk/think about something and it starts popping up in life all a sudden

You’re a really good presenter

This is my favorite Cold Steel machete. Loved this commentary. But this man got serious with the chopping!

More of her please

cold steel finally gets a real swordsman

Wicked blade. Would make an excellent ninjato.

Imma have to buy a ninja suit also. I remember looking into the martial arts magazines when I was a kid wishing I could get the ninja suit and all the cool shit. Lol
